Boston Public Paddling! David E. Kelly does it again with a storyline about schoolroom C.P. AND Schoolmarm fetishism on the controversial FOX TV drama, BOSTON PUBLIC! |
Think classroom corporal punishment was a thing of the past or an anachronism confined to one-room schoolhouses somewhere out in cornfield country? Then you must have missed the 2002 season's eye-opening, sixth episode of BOSTON PUBLIC— Ally McBeal creator David E. Kelly's quirky & controversial second series for FOX television— & its blushingly vivid portrayal of schoolroom paddling and schoolmarm fetishism. Although the tone turns dark at the suggestion that teach is tanning the tushes of her students for her pleasure rather than their education, the beginning is as about as blushing an opening shot as I've seen on network TV, namely a close-up peek at the vibrant, paddle-blushed bottom-cheek of a naughty high-school girl (right) and her eventual pout as she shows it to the vice-principal and school nurse, "It was one thing when it was a ruler, but she got this paddle thing now!" The suggestion that her pretty posterior has felt the ruler before suggests a repeat offender and possible sour grapes to the VP, so he visits Mrs. Watson's (played with gusto by familiar character actress, Angela Patton with paddle, below) classroom just in time to catch a demonstration of her putting her shiny new paddle to use on the bent-over, seat-of-wisdom of another naughty student, this time a male. |

Mrs. Watson is an equal opportunity disciplinarian, and really does put her all into the 2 paddle strokes (left & page top) we are treated to seeing her give the kid before the class— including 2 cringing gals who do a great job of grimacing (above) and covering their eyes (left) as if they both know what Mrs. Walsh's paddle feels like on young, developing posteriors! The VP is duly impressed, too. However, as one would expect, he orders the teacher to cut out the CP. But not because it's banned in Boston— I thought it was, but I don't live in Bean Town. Is it Bostonians? No, in this modern day of litigation at every opprtunity, he's worried about being sued by the parents of one of her red-cheeked charges. |
Mrs. Watson stops paddling her pupils as far we know. But David E. Kelly and his cohorts aren't done with spanking yet as it pops up again in, of all places, the teachers' lounge— I always wondered what went on in there!— and with a very different twist when the old-fashioned teacher lets her guard down and asks the show's resident outdated nebish, (fellow teacher played by Fyvish Finkle, bottom right), if he'd like to grab a cup of coffee after work and... "I could bring my paddle. You might like it! My late husband couldn't get enough of it!" Why (except that it was in the script) Mrs. Watson picks the worst guy possible to proposition for a little slap and tickle schoolmarm fun is beyond me. His recurring character already showed what a dinosaur he was when he freaked out over girls not wearing bras to school in a previous episode! Oh, well, for whatever reason (maybe the censors still don't like happy spanking endings?) the nebish does what he does and Mrs. Watson gets fired when the VP overreacts to the old fart's claim alone that, "She's a pervert! She beats those kids for pleasure!" Personally, I didn't see it that way. And I certainly hope that the millions of others who watched this one didn't side with old Fyv either. I'd rather think that they saw the Ally episode too and figured old Fyv was being his usual stuffy self and should have taken Mrs. W. up on her offer. If anyone could use a good paddling, it's Fyv! And the equally tight-assed Vice Principal, too! Now, that would be entertaining!! -- cm |
